When should I expect eggs??

When should I expect our 1 yr old female and 7 month old female to lay eggs??
Our 1 yr female laid last year and hasn't laid any more eggs since.
I'm a little worried because I keep having to separate them from our drake due to the females attacking him constantly whenever he attempts to mate with them. They haven't mated in a few months and I know this because the females make a lot of noise while attacking him so I'm always out there to save him.

Not sure. My ducks who aren't yet a year were laying last month, maybe its just the weather?
Im not a duck expert.

Both should be laying. What breed of ducks and what are you feeding them?

The 1 yr old is a Chocolate Runner and the 7 month old is a Blue Runner.
We feed them Purina Duck Feed Pellets.

Do you feed feed with calcium?

If the drake is stressing them out enough that they attack him the stress very well may be what is interfering with their laying. Stress alone can cause a hen to stop laying. If they were my ducks I would permanently separate them from the drake and also provide them with free access to a bowl of oyster shells. The Purina Duck feed I believe has a max of 1.25% calcium which isn't enough calcium alone for laying age hens.
